Umunyu wa sodium ya MOPSO ni imiti ikomoka kuri MOPS (3- (N-morpholino) aside protanesulfonike).Numunyu wa zwitterionic buffer, bivuze ko urimo ibiciro byiza kandi bibi, bituma igumana neza pH ihamye mubushakashatsi butandukanye bwibinyabuzima na biohimiki.
Ubwoko bwumunyu wa sodium ya MOPSO butanga ibyiza nko kunonosora ibisubizo mubisubizo byamazi, byoroshye kubyitwaramo no gutegura.Bikunze gukoreshwa nkibikoresho bitanga amakuru mu bitangazamakuru by’umuco w’akagari, tekinike y’ibinyabuzima ya molekuline, isesengura rya poroteyine, hamwe n’imisemburo ya enzyme.
MOPSO umunyu wa sodiumi ifasha kugumana pH yikura ryumuco wumudugudu, bitanga ibidukikije bihamye byo gukura kwimikorere nimikorere.Mubuhanga bwibinyabuzima bwa molekuline, butuma pH ivanga reaction hamwe na buffer ikora, bigatuma ibisubizo nyabyo kandi byizewe muri ADN na RNA byigunga, PCR, hamwe na gel electrophorei.
Irakoreshwa kandi mu isesengura rya poroteyine, ikora nk'ibikoresho bitanga igihe cyo kweza poroteyine, kugereranya, na electrophorei.Umunyu wa MOPSO sodium itanga uburyo bwiza bwa pH kugirango poroteyine ihagarare kandi ikore muri ubu buryo.
